Mémoire vive (DRAM)

Option Consommateurs filed a Motion for authorization to institute a class action on behalf of any person who has purchased in Quebec Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) and/or one or more products equipped with DRAM and who has paid an inflated price because of an agreement to fix DRAM's price. The motion alleges, among other things, that certain manufacturers of this product conspired to unduly limit the competition and to unreasonnably raise its price.

This class action is led by Belleau Lapointe, LLP
